The 2021 Oscar nominees were announced Monday morning (March 15), with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas revealing which movies, actors, directors and more are up for a 2021 Oscar.
The Academy made history this year with the most female directors nominated in the Best Director category. Chloe Zhao (Nomadland) and Emerald Fennell (Promising young woman) were both nominated in the category. Zhao is the first Asian woman to be nominated for Best Director.
David Fincher Mank leads the nominations with ten in total, including nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director. The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Minari, Nomadland, Chicago Trial 7 and Sound of metal follow, scoring six nominations each.
For his work in Minari, The Walking Dead Star Steven Yeun is the first Asian American artist to be recognized in the lead actor category. Meanwhile, Chadwick Boseman, who died of colon cancer in August 2020, received a posthumous nomination for his role in Ma Rainey’s black background.
The 2020 Oscars will air on ABC at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, April 25. The ceremony will be broadcast live at both the Dolby Theater and Union Station in Hollywood.
